Comments to the editor and papers without an abstract

These entries are listed in reverse chronological order, the newest first.

In the older literature other terms were used for déjà vu: paramnesia, fausse reconnaissance (French), Erinnerungsfälschung or Erinnerungstäuschung (German) and so on. You will meet them in the early abstracts, from before about 1910.

For papers published without an abstract (or whose abstract we could not locate) we have tried to give some information from the paper or book. We are sure we have not done justice to many of them and would be grateful for suggestions for amendment or correction. For many others we have not been able to find an abstract or to comment on them.

A la recherche du . . . deja vu

 [In search of the deja vu phenomenon] [in Dutch]

Sno HN, Linszen DH

Tijdschrift voor Psychiatrie 31(8): 518–532, 1989

De déjà-vu-ervaring is een verschijnsel dat frequent en niet alleen bij (psycho)pathologische stoornissen kan voorkomen. Het kan omschreven worden als de beleving een bepaalde situatie of sensatie al eens eerder meegemaakt te hebben, terwijl men zich vrijwel gelijktijdig het onmogelijke ervan realiseert en niet in staat is het precieze tijdstip van de vermeende oorspronkelijke gebeurtenis in het verleden te achterhalen. In dit artikel worden eerst de epidemiologische en fenomenologische aspecten beschreven. Vervolgens worden de etiologische factoren en psychopathogenetische verklaringen besproken. Hierbij wordt een verklaringsmodel geïntroduceerd, dat gebruik maakt van de holografie als model voor het geheugen.
